Um... are you sure you're playing the right game or asking the right question? rock.gif There is an M113 that comes with the game.

Yes, yes, but doesn't the M113-A1 hasn't got a bigger gun than the M113 in the game?? I'm not sure but I saw a picture today of a M113A1 with a slightly bigger gun then the one in the game.

I'm sure that there is one with a bigger gun, I saw it in the windows of a toymoddelshop (or how you call these shops?), and that was no .50 gun I saw, it was more a cannon similar to the one on the BMP.

What you saw is a M113a1 Fire Suport Vehicle but it isnt a m113a1. Its a modified one, to give mechanized infantry some back up in nam.

There are various M113 packs with Tow launchers, 20mm aintiaircraft guns, quad fifties and such. Just search the addon section of OFP.info

The Americans had a "Cavalry Support" version of the M113 during Vietnam (similar to the one Frandsen showed, but obviously with a different turret)

If I can find pics, I'll post them, but the best Nam resource site is down atm sad_o.gif

Nope, thats not it, its armed with a large-bore cannon, used for demolishing structures.

Australia actually had 2 versions, the one Frandsen showed (M113 MRV with scorpian) and a M113 FSV. The M113 FSV mounted the 76mm saladin armoured car turret, not sure if this one was used by the USA, but it was def developed for and used in veitnam and later replaced by the MRV.

Yeah seen this one before. This is the sweetest M113. I really hope that if OFP2 will give us the option of multiple gunners, this baby will ship with the game.

The M113 FSV (the one with the Saladin Turret) is madee by Tamiya and I still often see it in model shops. I also haev one includign the nice A4 diagrams that come with it for painting.

If soemone want to do this nice bit of kit then I can scan these plans and send them, just contact me direct (PM or email).
